bhattacharya. breaking news on two fronts. the u.s. and great britain reach a major trade agreement first bic pact since president trump unleashed his tariff agenda. the president saying great deal for both sides and that economic security is national security. we'll have a live report from the white house shortly. but we begin with the shocking announcement out of rome. the catholic church has a new leader tonight. he is from the united states. the first pope ever to be born in this country. 69-year-old chicago native robert prevost will be known as pope leo xv1th. religion correspondent lauren green is at st. peters square tonight. with the latest, good evening, lauren first american born. first the white smoke action
3:02 pm
then the crowd roars. bell of saint peter's basilica with joy. most experts said it couldn't happen that the catholic cardinals would never elect an american as the bishop of rome, the vicar of christ and yet on the conclave's fourth ballot cardinal robert prevost got the required two thirds vote. [chanting] >> the first american pope in the history of the church, a pope from the new world, 69-year-old cardinal robert prevost is now pope leo xvi. and the 267th successor of saint peter on whom jesus said upon this rock i will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail. motto in the one christ we are one. he gave the traditional pathway blfirst blessing. >> united hand in hand with god and with each other, let us move forward. >> born in chicago, prevost studied at villanova.
3:03 pm
he spent many years in peru as a missionary. a cardinal for less than two years. he headed the influential office of bishops charged with elevating priests and bishops around the world. president trump reacting to the election of the first american pontiff. >> absolutely great honor. >> choice on an american born pope was thought impossible. john allen on white house faith podcast said if there was an american, protes prevost not tht likely. >> he is not that well-known to the outside world. is he well-known into the fellow cardinals who are going to be driving this election. >> lauren: the next thing for pope leo installation mask basilica date and time will be announced. the pope will decide. tomorrow a mass at sistine chapel for all the cardinals. bret? >> bret: lauren green live in vatican city. thank you. joining us now also from rome is
3:04 pm
bishop robert barron founder of word on fire ministry. bishop of the wynona min minnesota, your excellency thank you for the time. big day, your initial reaction to pope leo xvi? >> it was a shock, i must tell you. i was one of those people that said american would never get elected pope. i was saying it on various interview programs. first of all that it came so quickly on the 4th ballot that surprised everybody. we were all flabbergasted to hear it was an american. after the shock wore off, you look at this figure and say many ways he is an obvious choice. extraordinary range of experience in administration and missionary work. in cannon law, running a worldwide order. august citizennians and catholic of bishops. put his american identity to the side.
3:05 pm
i see why the cardinals gravitated toward him. >> yeah, you know. in italy it's said that he is known as the latin yankee kerik rised he was a compromised candidate. can you explain that? >> yeah. i think he is a bridge candidate. i put it that way. he is continuing the francis program. very enthusiastic about the approach using came out wearing the stole. gesture to more traditional catholics. the fact he chose extraordinary name leo xiv. leo the 13th is a hero to a lot of liberal catholics and conservative catholics and for different reasons. that makes him, i think, in many interesting ways intriguing ways
3:06 pm
a bridge figure. we were all surprised after only four ballots they came to this consensus because the pope needs a super majority of two thirds plus one. i think enough cardinals said no, i think this man can speak to the various factions within the church. >> i was born in chicago as he mentioned much of clerical life abroad in ministry teaching in peru. he speaks french, spanish, portuguese and italian as well as english and obviously we saw that on display in his remarks. what did you make about his message on first day and what do you foresee the early days pope leo xiv will be? >> i think he presented himself remarkably well. he seemed very, you know, self-contained the use of latin, italian and spanish not a word of english i thought was rather telling. telling the word, look, i'm an
3:07 pm
american, but also i have got international connections, again leo xiv name will tie in very much to the church's social teaching tradition. that tradition goes beyond our liberal conservative divide. fully to preach the catholic social teaching, you can't just be in our terms a democrat or republican. that's a very telling choice that he wants to walk in that path. >> bret: bishop, your excellency, thank you for the time. interesting day. thanks. >> yeah. thank you. >> bret: other top story president trump says a new trade agreement between the u.s. and great britain is a great deal for both sides. tariffs will be consult on automobiles, eliminated on steel and aluminum from the united kingdom. word of the agreement precedes a meeting in switzerland between trade representatives between the u.s. and china. senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich has that story from the north lawn. >> we are working on three trade
3:08 pm
agreements right now. >> president trump celebrating the first deal since liberation day. the u.k. agreeing to increase market access for beef, paltry and ethanol trims back 25.5% steel, aluminum and cars up to 125,000 of them up to plain. >> i wonder whether you would like to buy. >> the last time that happened i ended up buying a tesla. >> baseline tariff on all nations remains at least for now. >> the final details are being written up in the coming weeks. >> platform here including, of course on the tech side. >> critics say not so much a deal yet as a memorandum of understanding. obama's economists says the gains for more market access are much smaller than the u.s. and u.k. losses and u.s. tariffs plus other agreements likely harder, a bloomberg opinion piece noting the white house made no mention of how the framework met the objective of
3:09 pm
raising revenue or assuring manufacturing. >> are you significance of this deal president who needs a result like you said it. you said you said it incorrectly. setting exceptions for talks with china this weekend. >> i think it's going to be substantive. i always get along president xi. >> xi has cozied up to putin and issues a statement partnership as efforts to negotiate an end to the ukraine war drag on. >> we will keep working on it until we decide we can't make any more progress. >> then you would walk away? >> we would, we would. >> the president said russia offering a peace deal at all is a breakthrough but also indicated the administration is not yet convinced that russia is negotiating in good faith. the president said it's unlikely that he will meet with putin while he is in the middle east but also said that the talks are going well. bret? >> bret: jacqui heinrich on the

3:11 pm
gentlemen who are running the agency, running the major subagencies of hhs. and he said that nothing like that had ever happened in history. i talked to them typically about two or three times a day. we're friends. we go to lunch together. we stay at each other's homes. we have occa investigationed tor vacationed together.we are aligd values that's the strongest bond that holds people together. in this we all share a vision that's been a lifelong vision for all of us choose to make our country healthy to have evidence-based science, have gold standard reputable science. use that to this kind of bedrock system that is destroying our health. which is a complete misalignment
3:12 pm
of economic incentives and public health. yesterday we met with the heads of all the pharmaceutical -- the biggest pharmaceutical companies. and i said i want to live in a place where you can make money by making people healthy. a bundle that force people to do the wrong thing sick care system than healthcare system. these people are going to change that. >> bret: i know have you have a lot of balls in the air, big thing each of you are dealing with working on first fda, marty? >> first of all, we want to focus the agency on cures and meaningful treatments d iei
3:13 pm
staff bloonsd out. letter and spirit of right to try. there is amazing stuff in the pipeline i have seen. we are talking about new treatments for stage 4 cancers for neurodegenerative disorders. for diabetes. we have never seen before. why does it take 10 years on average for drugs to come to market? why are we blaming children for being sick and not looking at our food supply? why are we thinking it's a will power problem as we watch half of our nation's children with belly pain, attention deficit disorder and on medications can we use common sense and gold standard science. that's the charge we have from secretary kennedy. >> bret: obviously done the dyes. this question about vapes coming over from china and really pervasive in our country and kids like video games getting vapes and they're dangerous. that falls under fda. >> it does. these are devices designed to
3:14 pm
get kids addicted to playing video game and inhalation port in our device. showing up at our borders. what we have been doing is just sending them back. so the chinese manufacturers are just sending it to another port. it's called port shopping. they all get in. they are laughing at us. so that's going to stop in this administration. we are not going to allow these guys to get in. we are going to confiscate them. >> mehmet a lot of focus on medicaid and medicare. item gogd you are coming after it and kill it and cut it. what do you say about that. >> our goal is to put health back in health and human services undersecretary kennedy that's why we are all here we are laser focused on the holistic picture. on the back of this wonderful theater that he would recording in now there is a quote from hubert humphrey the building is named after him a democrat. it's the moral obligation of government to take care of those of us at the very dawn of our lives, children. at the twilight of our life, the
3:15 pm
elderly, and those living in the shadows. that's our focus. it's quality of care at all levels. we are working together to make sure that happens in every single scenario that we are looking at. we are increasing payment in medicaid. putting more money into med medicaid. >> increasing. how do you spend that money so efficiently that you stop throwing money at problems but actually deal with the broader health needs. addressing the fundamental reality that 70% of the money that cms spends, medicare, medicaid, the exchanges, chips. 70% of the money we spend is on chronic illness and we are not getting our money's worth. for folks right now it's your patriotic duty to be as healthy as can you and our job to help you get there. make it easy to do the right things. at the same time, make wise decisions because we are stewards who have to protect the money for the population that hubert humphrey described. >> fiscal year 2024. largest percentage of improper payments. 54 billion. medicine karen 31 billion,
3:16 pm
medicaid, earned income tax credit was 15. snap was 10.5. you are looking at 84, or 85 million in improper payments? >> billion. that's an under estimate. >> here's the thing. we have a war room now to fight back against adversaries. these aren't just small time players. these are foreign governments. weaponed, organized crime. and why are they coming after us? because our budget is nearly $2 trillion if you include the moneys that are spent that we direct but sometimes come out of our pocketbooks. direct $1.75 trillion. that's tweets defense budget a big target on our back and folks are coming after it. the kinds of things that should make you mad. it's usaid on steroids, frankly. give you a couple examples. almost a quarter million americans found out by surprise because they got an irs notice that they had gotten the affordable care act insurance without knowing it. why would you sign somebody up without telling them you have insurance? because brokers can steal the
3:17 pm
money? we have hundreds of millions of dollars spent on housekeeping. we have tens of millions of dollars spent on public unions getting free child care or student tuition or dei programs. i have an obligation, all of us to do to protect the people that humphrey was speaking about. if we are not going to protect most vulnerable, that's who they are stealing money from, we are not doing our job. we are going after there is a new sheriff in town and coming after folks in a very big way. >> bret: nih always looking to the next thing. people concerned that fund something drying up. and the president's budget, fda is spared. but there is 33.3 billion cut from hhs, 18 billion from nih. 674 million from cms. does that affect you in how do you portray that about what nih is doing? >> i think the key fact i look at for nih is that the mission of nih is to improve -- do research that improves the health and longevity of the
3:18 pm
american people. sings 2012, no increase of life expectancy in this country tribune. >> nih has not done its mission over the last dozen years. and, in fact, nih was involved in supporting research that may have actually led to the pandemic that we all just went through. so, we. >> bret: speak to that for a second. gorsuch just signed this gain of function research justs. can you stop it on the u.s. side. obviously it's happening around the world. >> the u.s. is the primary state that sets the example for how to do this kind of work around the world. not going to allow scientists to play god. take cockamamie. make them more deadly? that doesn't protect us against anybody and causes tremendous risk. what the president did by signing this order is he said no more. we're not going to have another lab generated pandemic on my
3:19 pm
watch. >> bret: the surgeon general nominee was supposed to be hearing today on capitol hill. dr. nesheiwat was pulled. she is heading here to the hhs. what happened with all of that? >> what happened with her withdrawal? >> we talked to dr. nesheiwat, we're going to put her at a very good place here at hhs. casey means, we felt, was the best person to really bring the vision of maha to the american public. she has unique capacity to articulate it. written a book in mobilized. galvanized the movement. she is extraordinary. she is excellence in everything that she has ever. >> bret: obviously she has come under her own criticism about some of the things she has advocated for. she never finished her residency and doesn't currently have an active medical license. >> she was is he tremendous top
3:20 pm
of her medical class at stanford. she is in every -- during her residency she won every award that she can win. she walked away from traditional medicine because she was not curing patients. she couldn't get anybody within her profession to look at the nutrition contributions to illness. and she said if we're really going to heal people, if we are healers, we can't just be making our life about billing new procedures. we have to have to figure out new approaches to medicine that's the kind of leadership that she is going to bring to our country. >> last thing on this your former running mate weighed in today said she wasn't happy about this and said you are somehow being controlled. your decisions are being controlled. that's what she posted. >> listen, you guys sitting here four people all canceled during covid. >> right. >> these people you have the entire leadership of this agency is renegades who are, you know, who are jugg jugger not.

3:32 pm
essential if we would have had free speech during the pandemic we would have had much better outcomes. when kennedy says hold that up is free speech. and when secretary kennedy talks about the taboos in science is he absolutely right. i, as a scientist, i don't know what causes autism to rise. i read the scientific literature and it just looks like people haven't really asked the question in a deep and honest way. what we're going to do is shatter that taboo so people can ask the question honestly so can i look at the scientific literature and give an answer. that's grounded in truth. it's -- you saw during the pandemic it was taboo to say certain things. you couldn't say that if you had covid and recovered you would have some immunity, for instance. those kind of taboos are an anathema to scientific progress in this administration under secretary kennedy's leadership and president trump's leadership
